RESUMO
The frequent association of environmental aquatic contamination with vibriosis in humans suggests the need for systematic monitoring and study of environmental vibrio strains and their pathogenic potential and clinical significance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diversity of vibrio species in four estuaries (Pacoti, ChorÃ, Pirangi and Jaguaribe) in CearÃ, Northeastern Brazil. Nineteen vibrio species were identified in 32 water samples and 32 sediment samples collected between January and April 2009. Overall, V. parahaemolyticus and V. alginolyticus were the most abundant (the former in ChorÃ, the latter in Pacoti). The isolated strains were submitted to antibiogram testing with 15 antibiotics. All strains (n=197) were susceptible to sulfametoxazol-trimetoprim, ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid and chloramphenicol. Resistance was observed to penicillin G (n=163; 82%), ampicillin (n=108; 54%), cephalothin (n=15; 7%), aztreonam (n=3; 1%), gentamicin, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone (1 each; 0.5%). Partial resistance was observed to cefalotin (n=52; 25%), ampicillin (n=28; 14%), aztreonam (n=10; 5%), tetracycline (n=8; 4%), oxytetracycline (n=2; 1%), and florfenicol, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, streptomycin and gentamicin (1 each; 0.5%). Five species known to be pathogenic to humans were chosen for analysis of factors of pathogenicity. Strains belonging to the species V. parahaemolyticus (n=64) and V. cholerae (n=9) were submitted to molecular analysis using genes to confirm the species and indicate virulence. Sixty-three strains of V. parahaemolyticus were positive for species-specific tl, 57 were positive for tdh and 20 for trh. Five strains of V. cholerae were positive for species-specific ompW, but no strains presented the genes ctxA, zot, tcp or rfbO1. In conclusion, the estuaries surveyed presented a great diversity of vibrio species, the most abundant of which were V. parahaemolyticus and V. alginolyticus. Resistance to penicillin and ampicillin was elevated and positivity for virulence factors was considerable among strains of species pathogenic to humans. V. parahaemolyticus strains presented virulence genes indicating risk to public health. V. cholerae was identified in samples of both water and sediment
